Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely outlook onto green grass and the lake. Saw ducks, geese and herons during our few days there. Hardstanding pitch was good. After the first night, we were the only people there, so that was nice! Good proximity for local towns, and only 40 minutes drive down to Weymouth and Chesil Beach. Pub is a short walk away but they only do basic food at weekends. We drove to The Green Man which is about 5 mins away and the food there is amazing.
Disliked Only one shower open, understandably, but was not keen as it had brown mould all round the shower tray, it's not very spacious and the heater didn't work. Would not have liked the unisex toilets if other people had been on site.
It was quite boggy due to the recent bad weather, but that's just how it is every where at the moment!

From the manager: With the winter season and reduced site usage, we’re unfortunately unable to justify spending several hundred pounds to keep the additional two showers open.
Each shower room measures 5ft by 6ft and is fitted with a full-size shower enclosure and individual electric showers, providing consistent and adequate heat for each user. We have also checked the heater in the facilities, and it is functioning correctly, so there does not appear to be an issue there.
I’m sorry if you missed the signage indicating that there are separate male and female toilets available in the barn for your use.
Regarding the ground conditions, during wet weather the areas beyond the hard standing and stone roadway can become muddy. Unfortunately, this is largely weather-dependent and not something we are able to prevent entirely.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked had a perfect stay, love this campsite all the amenities were in 1 place e.g showers, toilets, toilet waste disposal, fresh water, bins, recycling and even a launderette, all very clean, tidy and well looked after. small convenience shop down the road, 8 minute walk. lovely views looking over the lake, very quiet and relaxing spot to unwind and forget about the outside world. Hardstanding pitches were the perfect size with amble room to walk around your motorhome. would definitely be returning here again.... amazing!! 10/10
